Scenario

When family traditions clash with individual needs

My family always does this elaborate birthday ritual for everyone but my teenager just said they don't want it anymore and now we're all confused about whether we're holding onto something that doesn't serve them or if this is just a phase and how do we honor their autonomy while also maintaining something that connects all of us.
